S250615-029 - Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .052 Metal Core Wire 33lb Spool

High-Efficiency Metal-Cored Welding Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .052 33 Spool is a premium gas-shielded metal-cored wire engineered to redefine productivity in heavy industrial environments. Designed for the rigorous demands of structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment manufacturing, and general fabrication shops, this wire delivers X-CEPTIONAL performance that directly translates to bottom-line savings. By utilizing a metal-cored design, the FabCOR Edge XP allows for significantly higher deposition rates compared to solid wires, enabling faster travel speeds and increased throughput without sacrificing weld quality.

One of the standout technical features of the FabCOR Edge XP is its advanced silicon gathering capability. In many metal-cored applications, silicon islands can be difficult to remove or may scatter across the bead face. This wire concentrates silicon deposits into large, easily removable islands, drastically reducing the time and labor required for inter-pass cleaning and post-weld finishing. Furthermore, the wire exhibits extremely low spatter levels, even at high amperages, which preserves the life of contact tips and nozzles while maintaining a cleaner work environment.

The .052-inch diameter is an optimal choice for welding thicker materials where deep penetration and high fill rates are required. It operates with a stable, balanced arc that provides excellent directional control, making it suitable for both semi-automatic manual welding and mechanized robotic systems. The wire is formulated to meet AWS E70C-6M H4 classifications, ensuring consistent mechanical properties and low hydrogen levels for critical applications. Packaged in a standard 33-pound spool, it fits most industrial wire feeders, ensuring seamless integration into your existing welding operations.

Whether you are welding non-alloyed carbon steels or fine-grain steels, the FabCOR Edge XP provides the consistency and reliability needed for high-volume production. Its ability to wet out smoothly at the toes of the weld helps create a flat, aesthetically pleasing bead profile that reduces stress concentrations and improves the overall fatigue life of the structure.
